sample sizes increase, the distribution of the sample mean differencesapproaches normality, even when the underlying data is not perfectly normal (Ghasemi &Zahediasl, 2012).To ensure the data met this assumption, the Shapiro-Wilk test was employed to assess normality.The Shapiro-Wilk test is frequently used in real-world applications across various fields,including educational and psychological research, to evaluate whether data significantly deviatesfrom a normal distribution (Razali & Wah, 2011). This approach helped ensure the validity of thesubsequent t-tests, providing confidence that the assumptions of the statistical models wereadequately met.Figure 4: LAESE Factor scores - Histograms and Q-Q plotsfigure 5: CPSES Factor scores

averaging the item scores within the factor, as is appropriate for an exploratory study[29]. Before conducting regression, assumptionswere checked using VIF, Q-Q plots, and residual plots. For all predictors, the VIF was less than 10, Q-Q plots of residuals were linear, and no patterns were identified in the residuals vs. predicted plots[30]. To increase the statistical power of the regression model, responses to some demographic questions were grouped together; for example, the 14 options for a participant’s engineering field were grouped into four main categories (civil, electrical, mechanical, and other). This reduction resulted in 23 predictor variables. For each factor, a standard multiple
